I have been on various safaris in Kenya over the last 20 years but my Roadtrip Africa experience was absolutely outstanding and awesome. From the first enquiry through the web form to handing the keys of dear sturdy car Micky back to Peter at the end, the entire Roadtrip service and attention to detail far exceeded my expectations.
We count that as a blessing for having Ken as our driver. We became a family and our trip was full of success. We can’t even get his jokes out of our mind. Omg! What a professional, fluent, knowledgeable driver! It was not even possible to completely explore some places without his help.
Good company, good quality and strong jeep, friendly and helpful staff with good communication. Sleeping in the tent on the top of the Jeep in national park is definitely a mist to do! Very easy to open and to close, 5-10 minutes max. I highly recommend!
